Describing the mental fortitude required on the day of the eyeball tattoo in Houston, Texas, Gulliford admitted, “It took me a long time actually on the day once I walked into the shop to even psych myself up to get it done.” The unconventional procedure involves a needle penetrating all sides of the eyeball, more akin to an injection or modification than a traditional skin tattoo.
In a surprising twist, Gulliford revealed plans to return to the same tattoo artist next month to further enhance his eye ink, solidifying his commitment to pushing the boundaries of self-expression.
Amidst the extensive tapestry of tattoos adorning his body, Gulliford proudly bears ink that symbolizes his victorious battle against cancer. From the first tattoo—a cross on his chest with the words ‘God First’—to a poignant purple cancer ribbon marking his seventh-grade struggle with Hodgkins Lymphoma, each tattoo tells a story of resilience.
